SLIMY AMPHIBIANS

                                       Hello Graphic #119
HEY. Its me.Wondering if you want to jump into learning about AMPHIBIANS. Well I hope you do. Cause I know that I do. Lets move on and I will tell you what I am going to talk about.



  • Amphibians(frogs and toads)
  • The life cycle of amphibians
  • Where they live 
  • How they breathe 
  • Are they cold-blooded 
  • How they lay eggs



 Today I am talking about these amphibians 


Not this amphibian    






He is amazing right. I know and you don't forget it.


Frogs and toads are both awesome,but they are still somewhat very different. Like toads they have skin that kinda fells like warts.NASTY. Have you heard the story when you touch a toad you get warts. I have and I will never touch one . Anyway they are different in so many ways.






      

Do you see the difference in the picture I do.




Next is the life cycle of these amphibians. They go from an egg, to a tadpole, to an adult. Cool right. See they go throw this thing called metamorphosis. It is something like a baby into his moms stomach and than into a toddler.

AWESOME!!!!!!!







Normally they live near swamps because it is where all of the insects are and it is a good place to give live birth. The swamps are a place that is like a wetland. So that means that they can keep their skin moist so they don't get dried out and possibly die. Swamps are probably the best place for them to live. WOW





OK next on my list is how they breathe when they are still in the eggs they live in water until they are fill grown adults. Why you ask. Well I am going to tell you.When they are going throw metamorphosis they star to grow legs and they leap out of the water because they have grown lungs and they don't have gills anymore.




   




They are cold blooded that means thet they can change their body tempter. So if they when in a fifty five degree weather they would have that same tempter in their body , but if the weather was hot that means the body tempter would be hot to.













Last,but not lets how they lay their eggs. They first of course breed.Then they lay the eggs in a safe spot next. Until the eggs hatch the paretnts will gard them. when the eggs hatch the are taken to a water leaf one bye one . If they are not they will try to eat each other. Then the parents leave and then they star the hole life cycle all over agian.
